Meals for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are free. Meals for children in all other years can be purchased at a cost of £2.30 per meal. Families in receipt of certain benefits may be entitled to Free School Meals. Please see Mrs Fraser who would be delighted to support you with an application. Alternatively you can send the following form in to school which simply asks for you National Insurance Number and we can do it all for you. We recognise that occasionally ordering online can be problematic; in the first instance please call Ideal School Meals on

If your issue is still not resolved the school will happily place the order on your behalf.

If you believe you may be entitled to Free School Meals for your child then please follow the advice in the document attached below.

Packed Lunches

Alternatively, your child might prefer to bring a packed lunch each day. We do recommend a balanced selection of healthy food for lunchtime, as part of our Healthy Schools programme and we find the right food stimulates the right concentration.
